Affiliate Programs

Seton Hall’s partnerships with international universities provide students with the opportunity to independently immerse themselves in a new culture and way of learning. Through our Affiliate Programs, students can participate in short-term programs with our partner institutions while paying Seton Hall tuition, which can be supported by existing scholarships and financial aid. Students interested in long-term programs with our partner institutions should check out our Exchange Programs.

Application

Applying to an Affiliate Program is super easy and can be completed in just a matter of minutes! Even if you are still considering your study abroad options with your family and faculty, still apply to every program you are interested in! There is no application fee or commitment needed to apply. You may decide whether you wish to confirm your spot after you are approved.

Applications for all Seton Hall Study Abroad Programs are approved on a first come, first serve basis (as are confirmations after approval) and space is limited. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required and students cannot be on disciplinary probation level II or higher at the time of departure. Because there may be competitive academic requirements from the host institution, be sure to review your program’s page to confirm your eligibility.

Check out the Credit Transfer, Billing, and Payment hub for detailed instructions.

Confirmation

Congratulations! You've been approved and received an email from the Study Abroad Team. Once you click on the link in that email, you'll be taken to your decision letter with the following instructions within the Study Abroad Portal.

For Approved Students: Acceptance into your Affiliate Program does not guarantee you a spot until you complete the confirmation process. Students are confirmed on a first come, first-serve basis and space is limited. Your spot is not confirmed until you complete the following steps within the Study Abroad Portal:

  • Select the Commit button.
  • Read and sign the "Acknowledgment of Refund, Participation and Withdrawal Policy"
  • Submit a $500 Non-Refundable Deposit payment thru the link provided within the Study Abroad Portal.

Once you complete the above requirements, the Study Abroad Team will update your application status to "Confirmed," indicating your spot is secure for this program. Please allow at most 12 hours for your status to be changed to Confirmed.

Important: Approved students do not need a valid passport to be confirmed for a Seton Hall Study Abroad Program, but they must have a valid passport prior to departure with an expiration date at least 6 months after the program end date. Click here to learn more about passports and visas.
